Blocks cleaned up well.
Should still have a engine number tho...
Anless its a replacement engine...
It has got a engine number, pretty sure i can see the start of it in the corner of the pic. A '1' or 'I'
Ah i see more of the code in this pic, though mines laid out different to it, mine is all close together etc.

Sorry thought you were referring to the C in front of 20XE Scott! Yeah there's an engine number after the 20XE stamps, didn't really fancy putting the numbers up though!
There's also something stamped where you'd find the code/number on a smallblock, not sure what that is!
Why? no one can steal your numberz..lol
Good to see its all moving along at a good pace.
Finished installing my Quickrack internals today (started on the rack in posts here and here, pretty easy when following Haynes.
Rack casing all clean inside from the old grease:

Rang Quaife and they recommended lithium based grease like you'd use for CV joints etc, so armed with this:

I greased the inside of the casing and the rack teeth and slotted it in:

Then tapped in the (new) bearing with the pinion in place (note, as per Haynes, the slotted side needs to face this way):

Which I'll be applying to the block as follows. Just half of the back done for now to make sure it goes on ok and that it's clean enough:
